Sorry about the headers, I use Lynx and Hotmail, but I now turned them
off, there should be no problem. About souping up Commodores, wouldn't
a 20MHZ CPU have a different instruction set than the original CPU and
thus require a different ROM? And if it has a changed ROM, then how is
it
a Commodore? Where can I get info on this? How much RAM would these
super-Commies have? What CPU?

A trip to my local thrift today netted me some IBM technical manuals that I
needed. However, I didn't get it all. Still available are the following:
1) Hardware Maintenance and Service 3363 Optical Disk Drive.
2) Technical Reference 3363 Optical Disk Drive
3) Personal System/2 Model 30 286 Technical Reference
These are the IBM boxed three ring binders; the first two are still in
shrinkwrap. The other is clean and apparently complete. The price on each
is $5.00 plus 6% tax and whatever it costs me to ship them from here in
Ohio. If anyone wants/needs these, I'll go back and "rescue" them.
Also they have an Apple IIc and a dual floppy disk drive there for $50. It
looks clean, but there are no guarantees beyond that. There were no
manuals/software evident. There is also an Apple monitor there for $15. I
don't know if it is/was part of the IIc system. I say that because its been
sitting there for about a month, but the IIc just appeared. It's the right
color and looks as if it belongs with the IIc, but...........
Oh yeah, some time ago I picked up a CP/M Primer for the Epson QX-10. This
is a manual that shipped with the QX-10 and a duplicate in my collection.
It cost me a dollar, so if anyone has a QX-10 and needs this, contact me and
I'll pass it along.
Finally, a while back someone was looking for dBase II reference materials.
I just acquired eight or ten third party books on dBase II. I think I could
fix you up with something, el cheapo.

If anyone's using the classic Emulex serial boards in a QBus or Unibus
environment, this looks like a good deal...

I have several Emulex CP34 and the older CP11/12 16 port
async panels that connected to various controller cards
emulating DH11/DHV11/DMF32 (CS11/CS04/?)
These were daisychained to 64 (or for the dmf32, 128)
ports with a single 34 wire ribbon cable from the controller
card.
If you have such a controller card and want more ports
speak quickly or the dumpster gets them

Does any one have a copy of a repair manual for the Tandon/IBM 5-1/4" drives
in the original IBM PC? The model# is Tandon TM1000-2A.
I seem to have a short on one of the power supply lines, so I'm looking
tor a diagnostics tree.
Thanks!
